There are tons of office admin. jobs in Central Florida. Like moving anywhere, you may find it hard to be considered for interviews without having a local address. You may find you have to save up for a move and get a place down here 1st before you get serious consideration by local employers.

If you want to work in south Florida you have to speak Spanish, English is optional. As for women we have plenty of them, but beware, lots of gold digggers. Women are like a hurricane, exciting and lots of anticipation when you meet, but when they leave they take your house and car. Florida is a step up from NY but maybe think of Texas instead?

Exclamation Oh please!

Forget Texas. You are a New Yorker! You wouldn't want to be in Texas.
I would suggest you go to the east coast of Florida to feel like you fit in!
There are tons of NY'rs there
You will have to watch out for the women down here. They are from all over the country and alot of them are GOLD DIGGERS and what not. Some women don't care who they go out with just to have XXXX, if you know what I mean. There are so many young girls with babies down here. No morals at all. Just be careful. The pay down here is ALOT less than up in NY!
At least in NY you have family and people you can relate to.
I too am a fellow New Yorker and we are moving back up north.
Florida is wonderful if you can afford the higher taxes and insurance that got thrown at us the last few years.

Try Jupiter FL. Further South but less congested. Good life styles. Jobs are excellent. Scrips Institute is just starting to settle in. Money is good. Houses aren't super expensive.

Yeah, about that, he said Central Florida, no need to make stereotypical derogatory remarks about the good people of South Florida. And Texas, really?? Whatever you do don't live on the border with Louisianna, you have to speak Cajun French, english is optional...
